Good Times

I don't want to name any names, but someone I know is down a couple more pounds today.

It seems like the being pretty diligent and having a good routine Monday through Friday seems to be paying off. I still have a harder time with Saturday and Sunday, but even with lots of good times this past weekend, including a dinner party and BBQ, I seem to have done okay. I was very conscientious with my eating at both events and stuck to my philosophy. It's fine to eat whatever you want, but just don't eat a lot of it. And for some reason it was easier to stick with things this weekend.

More good times...even though I haven't mentioned it lately, because I'm just a really bad challenge hostess, I still have my Big Girl Big Step Challenge going on. There's still 10 days to go and still time to join in. So, get out there the next week and a half and kick yourself some walking bootie.

The Sell Out

This Is Me

I think of myself as though I'm a pretty typical hipster kinda gal. I feel like I'm younger than I am and I'm still trying to figure out what I'm going to do when I grow up. For now, I'm working part-time "for the man," but more importantly, I'm a mom to a daughter, The Little Miss (TLM) and a wife to The Husband. We live in an area of the country where being anything bigger than a size 6 is considered unacceptably large and in a town where movie stars live.
I've always been the Big Girl. Growing up it was because I was taller and "big boned." Now I'm the Big Girl because I'm fat. At one time I loved being the Big Girl but now, not so much.
This blog is my way trying to be a part of a community that can help each other through our struggles to be who we really are. For me, it's still being a Big Girl just not of the fat variety.
